Hello all.. Another newbie :)

Hello all I've just this minute joined this forum after spotting articles about it when I was searching for weight loss ideas so here I am :)
Well I'm Claire from the West Midlands UK, after a major operation in 1996 my weight has crept up ever. Over the last year I've been on so many diets but only lasted about a month each time but I've decided this is it and I'm going to stick to it this time. I never used to do that much exercise at all but for the last few days I've been walking for an hour and fifteen minutes each day (I know it probably won't seem much to others but it's a lot to me ).
I'm aiming to lose two stone. I joined this forum to make friends on here and hopefully keep me motivated. Any friends requests will be accepted and I will be on here daily. Claire x
